I have an early afternoon meeting in Holborn which finishes early and, oh dear, I seem to have popped in here for a couple of mid-afternoon pints, rather than hurrying back to the office. Only open a week, this new bar remains ‘work-in-progress’, with the builders beavering away all around me.

The pub is found in Holborn, Central London, WC1A 2QH.

A new pub/bar opened in May 2012 in the delightful surroundings of Sicilian Avenue, close to Holborn tube station. The design is reminiscent of the Euston Tap, with both keg and cask taps sprouting from a central servery. But it is a larger place, with several distinct seating areas.

We have visited this pub 21 times, seen 76 different beers and tried 34 of them.
